Trader's Bank Building (Toronto)

Trader's Bank Building is one of the early skyscrapers in Toronto. Built in 1905 at 67 Yonge Street and standing at 15 storeys above Yonge and Colborne Streets it was the tallest building in Toronto and the British Commonwealth until the CPR Building was completed in 1913. The Traders Bank Building has a single shaft rising to a roof. It has since been converted to other uses, but it remains as one of North America's few surviving skyscrapers of the early 20th Century.
